Media Reviews
Frank Tallis is one of the most insightful psychologists of our time. In Wise, he explores life's most urgent questions - our purpose and mortality - with clarity and humility. What emerges is a deeply profound book, where psychology, philosophy, and lived experience come together to show us how to live... Wise is for anyone, young or old, in search of happiness * Jack Symes *
This is a rich and beautiful book. Using a range of perspectives and vignettes, Frank Tallis shows, rather than tells, us about the diverse ways that we might attain wisdom; wisdom that we need to sustain us as we move into the autumn of our years * Gwen Adshead, author of The Devil You Know *
Transformative... gripping... sincerely recommended * Guardian *
Wide ranging and well organised... a prompt from the outside world to access the resources we already have yet don't quite appreciate for the journey that lies ahead * The Times *
Author's Bio
Dr Frank Tallis is a writer and clinical psychologist. His non-fiction books include The Incurable Romantic, The Act of Living and Mortal Secrets: Freud, Vienna and The Discovery of the Modern Mind, which was a book of the year in The Times. In the TLS William Boyd said 'Tallis' clear-eyed judicious analysis is the best I've read'. Tallis is also the author of the Liebermann Papers, a psychoanalytic detective series set in Freud's Vienna and adapted for television as the BBC drama Vienna Blood. He lives in London.
